He's losing his teeth and has arthritis but can outfish any bear on the river. Long live King Otis.
i had a chocolate labrador who passed away 3 years ago. we used to always compare her to a bear (she was a little tubby & had some killer instincts) and so i really love watching the bears and imagining one of them is my jeffrey in her next life♥️
love the last scene with holly's little one and the two coys bopping up checking out each other.
OMG they are all so endearing!💓💓💓 I’m so glad to see Otis getting fish and getting fat🤗💕 I love them all, especially cubs!
Fantastic and hilarious... In this Bears Paradise , many Just wait still until the salmon Jump in their mouth , mother and cubs looks Like a fairy tale s scenario , Otis in the office ....😂😍🐻❤️🇮🇹
So much joy watching these beautiful souls
Love watching these bears fishing in their paradise. They bring me such joy.
Just like other bears it is always treat to watch Otis. Cub of 909 climbing tree in Riffles , Bret's coy with ride on LR were funny and pleasurable ones.
Thank you I love the moms and her cubs . Especially when they lean up against her So cute
Possibly best highlights video EVER!
You gotta feel a little bad for the salmon sometimes. An epic leap and all for naught.
Beautiful, I love Bears and all other kinds of animals! 😍😚😙
❤Way to go Otis😁😉
This is a superb compilation of videos. thank you Explore!
Dang! Look at all those bears! Jeepers
Beautiful and majestic
They are absolutely gorgeous I do love bears
The bear at 44 sec....he knows a thing or two because he's seen a thing or two 😂
I love the little cub scamper up the tree to eat his salmon!
This was great! Thank you.
Nature is just so beautiful when man does not interfere!
3:43-- now that's what i'd call 'dinner with a view!' :)
Watching all this made me want to eat salmon. So I went to Amazon Fresh to order some 'wild caught Alaskan salmon'.. but they were out. Now I know why they were out and who ate them.
Incredible fisherman.....they have it dialed
Amazing and thank you!
WOW Fishing Bears amazing, how they learn, from there Mother Bears. how amazing xxxxx
So enjoyable to watch these bears. I told my husband about this and he asked, Are they pickin' up trash. 🤣 Smarty farty.
Only the old folks like us will get that. 😁
Anyway- love this channel. ❤🐾🐻🎣

Wow! A Bearapalooza event! We're looking for 'our' bears, Capt. Fish Hook and Fish Head Stew. Easy to spot, they are big and brown.

The bear: time to fish
The fish:its 10 am time to leave
Me:cute nature
think Otis' alarm clock was set a month late
know I should feel sorry for the fish but don't - will have salmon for lunch
Yeah, Salmon's delicious and very healthy!
seafood restaurants have nothing on Brooks Falls
Which one is OTIS?
I have so many questions:
- How many fish does a bear catch in a day?
- what is the bears’ average catch success rate?
- what percentage of fish make it through to spawn upstream?
- approx how many fish make it upstream to spawn in total?
- how many calories does a bear consume from a single fish and how many do they need minimum to hibernate?
I would be very grateful if you can answer even just one :)
I can't answer all of these, but here's what I've been able to learn:
-A bear's number of fish per day depends on a lot of things. The number I've heard is that large, successful bears could catch up to 30 in one day when the salmon are most plentiful, although they don't all catch that many or need to. A lot of it is skill and dominance, but Otis, old and arthritic with missing teeth but likely extremely hungry, showed up and had 49 catches on camera the other day.
-Each fish contains several thousand calories, but the bears don't always eat the entire fish. Once they're more well-fed, they start to high-grade the fish, which means that they fill up on only the fattiest parts (specifically skin, head, roe) and drop the rest. Otis, with his missing teeth, has struggled with this.
1. How many fish does a bear catch in a day?
A lot! On days when many salmon are migrating in the river, a large and dominant male bear will sometimes catch and eat more than 30 fish per day. Smaller bears that cannot compete for the best fishing spots, or bears that are less skilled at fishing, may catch and eat considerably less fish.- Nps

Though Otis once have eaten around 42 fishes.
2. what is the bears’ average catch success rate?
I guess it is hard to tell and depends on whether he is fishing. Also it depends on salmon run condition like sometimes is just favorable and sometimes it looks like there are few in river.
3. what percentage of fish make it through to spawn upstream?
Cumulative escapement for Naknek river is around 1.5-2 Million (though it vary each season, like last year it was around 4 Million and for some season it was around 1 million). This data gives idea that around avg. 20% comes to brooks river to spawn.

4. Approx how many fish make it upstream to spawn in total?
What we have knew that around 80% of them make it. Though success rate of jumping is low like 6.56%, but eventually most of them make it.
200,000 to 400,000 salmon may successfully leap Brooks Falls each year.

5. how many calories does a bear consume from a single fish and how many do they need minimum to hibernate?
Ans.
A sockeye salmon fresh from the ocean has about 4,500 calories while a spawned out salmon in September may only have half that many. Salmon do not eat once they reenter fresh water. They are slowly starving, only surviving on stored body fat. That, combined with the tremendous energetic demands of spawning, lowers the total energy (calories) in each salmon over time.
www.nps.gov/katm/learn/photosmultimedia/sockeye-salmon-frequently-asked-questions.htm
They still need to burn many calories per day while hibernating-sometimes more than 4000 calories per day. When they emerge from their dens in the spring, bears have lost up to 33% of their body weight.(Bears do get double in size during salmon season. ) Lactating females can lose even more weight.

though I am not bear expert, but these info. what i learned. Hopefully it helped. You can always ask experts on explore.org and Rangers like Mike Fitz, Naomi on youtube live chat channel. ( ask mod schedule rangers often comes to chat)
@@nardaviiel yes, 480 otis had an epic daily catch the evening he first showed up on july 26 and he has not slowed down since while the fish are still plentiful. the salmon do seem to be a bit smaller in size this season so they might need to consume more to get the calorie count up though.
Anyone here after Cody and Noel?
Hmm, those are some hungry bears. 🙂
Who’s the bear with the massive scars that sits grumpily in the back pool?
32 Chunk
Isn't that Otis?
@@stephenpope578 that's Otis, near to jacuzzi at 0:32
@@stephenpope578 nope. There’s a new video of Otis and he doesn’t have those scars
bear with large gash/scar on nose is 32 chunk
Basically unlimited food. I don’t blame them. I love fish too, so much so I’m surprised I don’t have mercury poisoning
pls upload mother and cubs fishing feeding cubs siblings playing fighting .especially upload cubs video
We've got at lot of that in the works. Here is something to start with ! ruclips.net/video/KZUz0i-SQkc/видео.html
Mmmmm Mmmmm looks delicious 😋🤤
😢😢
That river must be so polluted !!!
She is delicious not cocking the fish may animals in a river
"Amazing Salmon Catches!" - "amazing" from the point of view of the bears, "devastating" from the point of view of the salmon.
The implied point of view of the cinematographer biases us (as the viewer) to root for the bear. An equally valid alternative cinematic point of view would bias us to root as strongly for the salmon.
It is critical to understand how our sympathies and loyalties are subject to this type of manipulation, and how biases are formed to influence the choices we unconsciously make.
